Yeah, I hear ya! I actually enjoy the snow, but it's the US government that seems to think they need to destroy automobiles that gets my goat. Salt and the treatment solution they put on the roads is horribly corrosive and destroys what it touches if it's metal. It makes the roads dangerous by creating slush that piles up inches deep, by making wet spots to be followed by icy spots when in the clearings, etc. I could go on for hours about how angry I get about this whole deal...
They can plow all they want (and 25% of the time they plow non covered roads), but there is no logical need for salt use on the roads.

your GP is melting!

I have to be honest.
I'm more worried about your signature.

because you're worried about the military personnel?

Exactly man. They are already salting here. There is not one snowflake on the road, barely any on the grass, and hardly anything on my car. And the crew is out salting. There is less snow near me than in that first picture.Yeah, I hear ya! I actually enjoy the snow, but it's the US government that seems to think they need to destroy automobiles that gets my goat.

do they actually use salt or what?
Gah... apparently calcium chloride is WORSE than sodium chloride for rust... excellent...
12-02-2010
they do around here...we have some of the largest salt consumption in the country in milwaukee. make it rain, buddy.
12-02-2010
they use a mixture of salt and sand in MN.
They also never plow the damn roads until it's all done snowing! Which really sucks when you have places to go and have to drive a GP...

yeah, they use salt but have a pre-treatment for the roads which is one of the most caustic solutions known to mankind. What makes it bad is that it is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture right out of the air, keeping everything it touches damp. I get trucking magazines and there are articles on the stuff all the time about the problems over the road trucks are seeing. In the past few years, they're seeing unprecedented problems and it's all linked back to this solution, which is MUCH worse than salt ever was (is). Failing brake systems from rotted lines, to the shoes scaling and delaminating, lighting problems...the list goes on and on.

^I remember reading something about that too. Seems like something else needs to be used/invented to pre-treat the roads, since all it does is more harm than good.

I actually would like it to snow here...
I just dislike alot of the things that are associated with it i.e. dumbass drivers, corrosion, dumbass drivers, etc.
12-02-2010
ill be laughing, my car is in storage
my 97 is the snow beast
12-02-2010
but yet the states are running out of $$$???? Maybe they should plow the roads a little longer before they go back to the highway departments to fill up another couple tons of destructive de icer. I put stainless brake lines and zinc coated rotors and underbody coated under my entire car last year only for everything to look like a shiity mess by this year. and yeh dumb ass drivers in their big suvs think they can go 20 in a 55 while people that know how to drive get stuck cuz some the dumbass infront of you wont let ya get enough speed to get through the snow with a car. did i mention dumbass drivers. almost as bad as the pigs who serve and destroy.

print MOAR MONEIESSSSSSSSSSs
12-02-2010
They don't need encouragement to do that, matt.
12-02-2010
